Some paraplegics could be closer to walking now that U.S. authorities approved a new exoskeleton device that will help some of them stand and walk.

The ReWalk device, which has been available in Europe since 2012, can be worn over legs to help people with certain types of injuries regain their mobility. On Thursday, the Food and Drug Administration approved marketing for the product, developed by Argo Medical.
